SPARKS wa shown a clipping from a
New York paper by a reporter. He
read it over very deliberately, and call
ing attention to the clause alleging that
Mr.. Sparks thinks he is Of more i'm
portance to the administration than the
administration IS to him, he remarked:
Well, there may be something in that.
There are people in this country who
probably agree in that view. think
that I have honestly earned all I have
eyer got of this office. and about 10000
times more, and the people OF this
country-tho honest people-think so,
too.

DIVISION MEANS ECONOMY.

On the question Of expense VI running
large and small states the Bismarck. Set
tier very wisely says:
We are told that ID; case of division
North Dakota will have the whole ex-
pense of a state government upon her
instead Of one halt. Look carefully and
see il in this case the half will not be
more than the whole. Note that the
rate of taxation is smallest in the small
New England states LIS mills. Note
that in New York and the larger middle
states the rate 10 more than double-3.4
mills. Note again that IN Nour largest
states, including California and Texas,
the rate is almost doubled-6.3 mills.
These figures are based upon the &C.
tual official outlay necessary to carry on
a state. Theydo not include the thous-
ands of dollars spent by various persons
who find it necessary to attend presby.
teries, conferences, synods, conventions,
grand lodges, etc. In the cast of Da.
kota, both party conventions in 1884
were held far away from the northern
section, and the northern delegate who
attended was confronted with a very
large expense BILL. This year the Ma
sonic and Odd Fellows grand lodges were
held in the northand some Of the rep
resentatives from the south were ten
days going and coming. This great
Journey contemplates q large personal
outlay. All the churches have wisely
divided the territory on the 9Th stan
dard parallel. They save money nnd
time by duplicating their presbyterles
conferences and synods. Time is mon
ey to the rustling people Of Dakota.

IT is amusing to see Judge Bennett's
editorial contortions in the Bottineau

has worked harder than any other anti
divisionlst we know of for an argument
against division; but, like all others vino
fight division, has failed to adduce a
single reason why division should not
carry.

That the people of. Ramsey county are

dent Kelley and Secretary Hansbrough,

largely due the credit of securing the at
fractions which made it such a nou
ced success.

The Farmer.
In the month Of August, 1852, the wri-
ter and VIM. Elliott, now a solid farmer
near Devils Lake, left Larimore, OAK,
the nearest railroad point, for Devils
lake, seventy miles away. The actual
settlers then around the lake could have
been counted on the fingers of one hand
John M. Waldron at Odessa, the Danas
at Dana's grove, and Lieutenant Creel
and his satraps. There was then but
one small log shack on the present site
of Devils Lake city, while a great lone
land, totally unsettled. stretched out its
billowy, grass covered undulations far
to the northeast, north and northwest.
It wa not even known that the land
would raise any Of. the cultivated crops,
some thinking SO far west as to be with
in the great arid, PASTORAL bolt Of the
continent, which stretches from the 10th
parallel along the eastern base Of the
Rockies to Northern Mexico. Five
years have elapsed and what q change!
A we'll, almost densely settled country,
fine farms opened up on nearly every
quarter section; fields Of waving
grain taking the place of the short
russell prairie grass, and q live en-
terprising. bustling little city of 1900
inhabitants on the site occupied by
Creel's lonely log shack in 'e2. The sup.
posedly barren country of FIVE years ago
